What is the best tool to adjust the EVO longarms?
You will want to use a spanner wrench. You need to get one with the proper peg size and one that will fit the diameter of both the smaller upper control arm adjustment collar and the larger lower one. That being said, you may end up needing to use a pipe wrench depending on how tight everything is on your arms.
Best way to do make adjustments is to have your AXLE on jack stands and tires removed for ease and accessibility. You may find it helpful to use a floor jack on to rotate the axle by lifting from the base of the yoke (if you need to go up).
I am about 4.5 degrees high now what is the best way to use the floor jack to bring the angle down?
Sounds like your lower control arms might be set too short. Leaving your Jeep on the ground, physically disconnect one arm at the axle mount and just make adjustments to the other. Gravity and your suspension will help push it down for you. Once you've got your pinion angle set, adjust your other control arm to the same length and install. You will most likely find that it will not line up with the mounting holes and a floor jack to the yoke will help make the correction you need to get the bolt in.
Thanks for this advice!
Just got my fronts on this morning.
Slight hijack..
Did Evo switch the design of the ends?
Most photos I find show a round lock collar with two holes in it.
Mine are some giant nuts that I will have to go shopping for the wrenches needed to adjust.
I only have to 1 5/ 16 in the box and they are way bigger than that.
The did change from spanner style to using a normal hex style like synergy arms. Drew said they are interchangeable if you want to swap to the new style as threads are same. Not sure of price, I figured mine are already set and unless I make big suspension changes why mess with them.
